INTREPID: Designed by Bill King, the Ericson Independence is a masthead sloop, traditionally styled with teak accents, bronze fittings, and with a distinctive trailboard ornamentation on her clipper bow, she gives a nod to America’s historic schooner ships. A deep cockpit and crescent-shaped captain’s bench keep the helmsman safe and snug behind her wheel. Self-steering AUTOPILOT makes short-handed sailing a breeze. New cockpit cushions, covered in a long-wearing Sunbrella textured fabric. The bimini and dodger provide excellent shade. Davits at the stern make for out-of-the way dinghy transport. Below deck, the main cabin is cool and comfortable with CENTRAL AIR, thick, newly upholstered saloon cushions, lots of beautiful wood; An L-shaped galley with sink, front loading refrigerator and 2-burner stove; fold-down chart table, nav station, fold-up wood saloon table, and a quarter berth. The Vee berth sleeps two comfortably and provides ample room for gear and clothing with a hanging locker, drawers, and clever detachable storage pockets. The private head has a new sink, storage cabinet, new solid-surface counters, and a new composting toilet. Built in 1977, INTREPID has been well-kept, upgraded, and newly re-powered with ONLY 168 HOURS on the M3-20B Universal diesel engine. With her 4’11” draft, 10’5” beam, long fin keel, and transom-hung rudder, she is a capable cruiser that will handle well in in rivers and on the bay.
